It was soooo easy. (And close to free.) Last week, I saved HOURS. I didn't work faster. I just stopped doing the stuff Claude Extension could do while I was busy being human. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲... My email blast looked perfect in Outlook. Then I checked it in Yahoo. The spacing was a mess. Fixing that kind of thing means digging into CSS files and HTML code. That's not a quick fix. Claude's Chrome Extension found the issue and corrected it while I kept working on other things. That's the point. I stayed human while AI fixed my tech problem. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀: It lives inside your Chrome browser as a side panel. You tell it what to do and it gets to work. It clicks buttons, fills forms, pulls data from dashboards, and moves between tabs on its own. You don't have to stop what you're doing. It runs in the background while you stay focused on the work only you can do. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀: It's free to download. You'll need a paid Claude plan to use it. I'm on the $20 a month Pro plan. Higher tier plans unlock more powerful features, but the Pro plan gets the job done.

Do you remember where you were? Were you directly affected? I know that time heals most things but every year on 9/11 I remember exactly where I was... I was half dressed, with a shirt still hanging from my hand, when the plane hit. On September 11, 2001, I lived in the Loop in downtown Chicago. Three blocks from the Sears Tower. Our windows went floor to ceiling, so that building felt like it was next door. I was getting ready for work with The Today Show on in the background. Then they showed that a plane had hit the tower. I stopped mid motion. Face about six inches from the screen, like a kid watching cartoons. My brain wasn't catching up. I just kept watching. Then the second tower. Somehow I had even fewer words than I did a minute before. My husband had already left for his job in the suburbs. So I finished getting dressed and knocked on my neighbor's door. We usually walked to work together. We decided the same thing. Get ready. Try to get there on time. See what happens. Handheld devices weren't common back then. But my neighbor had a little TV from Sharper Image, so we watched that the whole way in. You could see it on every face on the street. Confused. Worried. Nobody knew what came next. We half ran past the Sears Tower. We both figured it might be next. I'm not a runner, but I was doing the math anyway. Could I move fast enough? And if that tower came down, what were the odds it took our office building AND/OR my home with it? Home was a couple blocks behind me. My office was a couple blocks in front of me. I said goodbye to my neighbor at my office and she kept walking. When I got to inside, I told my boss I wasn't comfortable being there. About an hour in, I asked to leave. He wasn't happy about it. To be fair, nothing like this had ever happened before. He didn't know what the protocol was either. It took me a few tries to reach my husband. The lines were jammed. When I finally got through, I told him I was heading to a friend's place far from the city, and asked him to meet me there.
